In one of the biggest and most important Hispanic celebrations held in Los Angeles, Fiesta Broadway is a colorful carnival on the streets of the heart of the city that includes festivities, great food, entertainment, and family fun. And Chivas USA could not miss out of this grand event.

In a partnership with MLS and one of its sponsors, Red-and-White players Mario de Luna and Joaquin Velazquez took part in a special meet-and-greet with fans of all ages and different nationalities for three hours on Sunday afternoon.

Surrounded by a soccer field, fans had the chance to test their soccer skills and enjoy a countless number of soccer culture attractions that brought happiness and entertainment to all ages. But most importantly, fans in Los Angeles received the most from lubricant fabricator Castrol, who had a lot in store for attendants.

After taking a tour of the stand, all participants received a free soccer ball, hat and had the opportunity to meet the Chivas USA players, take photos with them and receive an autographed player card, personalized to each fan.

A little after noon on Sunday, Mexican defender Mario de Luna was the first to arrive at the event, where fans were already waiting impatiently, and cheered the players’ presence once he appeared, kicking off the meet-and-greet.

About an hour later, defender Joaquin Velazquez arrived to keep the meet-and-greet with the fans going; the three-hour event kept the Red-and-White players busy, as the assistants at Fiesta Broadway continued lining up to meet the players.

Along with the meet-and-greet, the MLS sponsor of the event had different activities to help promote the Red-and-White such as player cards, authentic autographed jerseys, as well as receiving free tickets to the next SuperClásico between Chivas USA and the LA Galaxy, match set for the 16th Week of the 2013 season.

At about five o’clock, the players left the event, leaving all fans with their own autographed and personalized player card. De Luna and Velazquez were dismissed by fans with applauses and cheers and in return, the players reiterated their support to the Angelino fan base, culminating their participation at Fiesta Broadway in Downtown Los Angeles.
